Like you I am tired of rude/crazy people and am looking for a regular partner to play and learn with. I am probably an average player, familiar with most of the standard conventions. I live on the west coast of Canada, so depending where in the world you reside it may or may not work. I would also like to play in online tournaments from time to time as I really like the risk/reward aspect of IMP scoring. I have a mature attitude towards winning and losing - while I like winning, I also appreciate that mistakes can be made and am philosophical about losing.
